The Vernon Filley Art Museum provides a spectacular quality venue in South Central Kansas for a variety of subject matter from contemporary to Southwestern art and beyond. The museum has an outstanding reputation and art collection, which we feel will be complemented well with a “hometown” theme created by inviting artists that have a tie to our area. Artwork submitted should be listed for sale, but exceptions may be made on a case by case basis. The Filley Museum retains a 40% commission on any sale made in the galleries during the exhibition, while the artist retains 60%. We will be looking for a variety of stylistic representations amongst the works and would like the exhibition to serve as a platform for exchange and collaboration among artists. All forms of art are welcome. The Vernon Filley Art Museum reserves the right to accept or reject any submissions for the exhibition.
The application includes prompts for each artist’s biography and/or artist statement and three photographs (high resolution images preferred) of work you intend to submit. Submission of 3 images does not guarantee acceptance, the museum may select 0, 1, 2, or 3 of your submissions.

Once your application and payment have been received prior to June 23rd, 2023 your application will be marked complete.
